Operation

The PTS series is ideal for lawns, parks, nurseries, athletic fields, parking lots, etc. It is designed for small tractors or
ATVs. It may also be used as a salt spreader for snow or ice covered roads during winter months. The PTS Spreader
can be used to distribute granular fertilizers, seeds, sand and small granular salt.
The anti-corrosive rotating spreader disc is ground driven by the air tires which are attached to a drive axle that runs
through a sealed gearbox with tempered high carbon steel gears.

Operation
The quantity of material distributed per acre depends on the following factors:
1. Spreader ground speed.
2. Unit weight and size of the material to be spread.
3. Spreading width.
4. Lever position that regulates opening size.
The working speed depends on ground conditions.
To regulate the spread pattern slide (to the left or right) the lever (see #19), which is located under the hopper and
runs through the slot in the disc shielding (see #14). This moves the spread pattern from 180° at position 0 (in the
center), to either mostly 90° right with the lever shifted all the way to the left or mostly 90° left when shifted to the
right completely.
To regulate the amount of material to be spread, using the same lever as above (#19,), slide it in and out to regulate
the size of opening at the bottom of the hopper. Use the scale located near the lever to gauge the size opening needed.
Example: if it is determined that the appropriate opening desired is position #6, loosen the knob (see #20,) so the
blocking plate will slide. Push the lever in until the hole is completely closed and move the blocking plate to position
#6 and tighten the knob. To spread, pull the lever back until it stops in position #6.
To adjust the spreading width, ground speed is the most important factor, the faster the ground speed the further the
material is thrown. An optional rear deflector (see #49) is available for additional regulation. Move the deflector up
and down to change the spreading distance. The higher the deflector is up the further the spread width, the lower the
deflector, the less distance the material travels. An optional metal skirting is available to regulate swath spread
